Star Citizen 3.17 PTU: Hurston

SPOILERS: From The PTS...

There is a mission available on Onderon that feels reminiscent of certain ones on Dantooine. Below is the wild Jawa’s guide to where to find these bits! (Here there be spoiler-ish content)

The mission is Onderon Collector, and the premise of this mission is to find five items on Onderon for a collector (IIRC, the collector is on Nar Shaddaa?). These are all throwbacks to Onderon’s history, and I’m sitting here squealing in delight at the KOTOR II references.

There is a crazy long respawn time on them right now. One guy I ran into said he’d been camping Queen Talia’s necklace for over an hour, and rumour has it there’s an eight-hour cooldown on at least the necklace and the saber. Hopefully it won’t be THAT painful when it goes live...

Ahem. Anyway...

All five of the items are marked with convenient little red dots on the map above. Here’s the breakdown!

1. Kith Kark’s Saber

Probably the easiest one to find, just outside the gates of Iziz. Coordinates are 158, -471.

2. Queen Talia’s Necklace:

You’ll notice this tiny little gap in the cliffside here. 

Down the tunnel to find:

Coordinates: 336, -1126.

3. Tome of Freedon Nadd:

So this is inside the Ancient Sith Crypt south of Iziz. If you’re on Pub-side, you’re going to have to either sneak past or fight the Imp mobs guarding the entrances. At least on the PTS, there’s no mobs inside said crypt! [EDIT: On the live server, there are in fact mobs. They’re not hard, just average difficulty or weaker, and pesky.] It’s spooky as hell and SO cool. :D Halloween party in the crypts once this goes live, anyone? Coordinates are -393, -753.

4. Mandalorian Armour:

Right beside this chap! Pretty much right between the tree to the right of the image and a cliff. Coordinates: -333, -687

EDIT [24 October]: So they moved it in the live server. It’s now here! -304, -755.

5. King Ommin’s Exoskeleton:

If you’re Imp-side you’re going to have to deal with at least one Republic mob to get here. It’s in a crate underneath the wooden platform. Coordinates: -171, 467)

There’s also a datacron that I can hear nearby, but I’ll figure it out later. and by that I mean I’m going to make a go for it probably once I’ve posted this. >.>

So far I’ve picked up everything except for the saber and the necklace (uuuugh respawn times...). When I’ve collected those last two items, I’ll come back and let you know if it just completes right then or if there’s another step to the mission. :D

So I kind of broke things epically on the Public Test Server tonight...

[xdunoir]

I love this game but shit... the devs love to push people away and then apologize. Just like those vicious circles of abuse. ... ... Also this:

[mr-gentlemac]

WHAT THE?!

[greyias]

It’s happening!

Also:

GUYS THIS CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN MUSIC...

Hold on, I’ll get the stream going in a minute or so here so you can hear it.

Grey vs the Datacron -- Redemption Arc

I’m sorry my friends, I just can’t leave it there. It mocks me with its twinkling song. So close I could grab it! So that is what I intend to do! If you fancy on watching me fall (a lot), come tune in! We’ll go for however long this takes.

(Don’t worry, normal streams will resume tomorrow)

It looks like the Public Test Server has gone live with Onderon dailies (among other things). To livestream a preview or to not livestream a preview... 🤔
